Abstract

A refrigerating apparatus for a refrigerator has an electrical voltage supply and an electrical interface for connection with components of the refrigerator with the interface having a galvanic isolation between an input arrangement connected with the refrigerating apparatus and an output arrangement connected with at least one component of the refrigerator.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A refrigerating apparatus for a refrigerator comprising:
 an electrical voltage supply input arrangement; and 
 an electrical interface for connection of refrigerating apparatus with components of the refrigerator, 
 wherein the interface has a galvanic isolation between the input arrangement and an output arrangement connected with at least one of said components of the refrigerator, the output arrangement, including an electrical connector, configured to be 
 mechanically releasably connected to said at least one component of the refrigerator. 
 
     
     
       2. The refrigerating apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the interface includes a transformer. 
     
     
       3. The refrigerating apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the transformer provides a voltage at the output arrangement which at maximum corresponds to a protective low voltage. 
     
     
       4. The refrigerating apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the interface has an optical coupler. 
     
     
       5. The refrigerating apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein it is constructed as a functional unit which unit includes a compressor, a condenser and an expansion valve. 
     
     
       6. The refrigerating apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein it includes an electronic control unit. 
     
     
       7. The refrigerating apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein it includes an evaporator. 
     
     
       8. The cooling apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein it includes a heating element. 
     
     
       9. The cooling apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein it includes a gas sensor. 
     
     
       10. The refrigerating apparatus according  claim 1 , wherein the output arrangement of the interface has a part of a plug connector. 
     
     
       11. The refrigerating apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the output arrangement of the interface has power transmitting terminals and/or signal transmitting terminals. 
     
     
       12. The refrigerating apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the output arrangement has a light emitter. 
     
     
       13. The refrigerating apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the refrigerating apparatus is detachable. 
     
     
       14. The refrigerating apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the refrigerating apparatus is housed in a separate housing from the refrigerating section.
